If you had the option of an Electric powered Boxster...

I'd go with Gasoline.. even my brain tells me that:

1. Electric = More initial torgue (street light racing)
2. Electric = easier maintenance
3. If you want ti to be quiet.. it's there
4. No vibration
5. No emmisions
6. it's hip nowadays

Still.... there is something in that smell of burned gasoline and roaring engine that in my heart tells me.. it's a Porsche.. it's a sports car..

Maybe I'm a dinasaur..

If I wanted a quiet electric car I will drive my golf cart. The sound of that engine is IMHO not something to replace. I dont get what electric would do for you. The purpose of a Porsche is to drive a car, not a CART.

I threw away my wife's electric vibrator and that's where the Porsche would go...

There's nothing like burning rubber, roar of an engine and the smell of all that gas & oil. Bring on baby.

I've been driving electric go karts lately at an indoor place that just opened up.
Electric hauls ass from a stop and that's just from a lil' engine.

The only problem is, there only good for so many laps. With gas engine and full tank of gas you fun much longer. But electric go-carts sounds like some real fun, a lot like bumper cars.

Saddled with with lead-acid batteries, with a crappy lash-up motor strapped to the factory transmission, an electric boxster would be tragic.

Done right (in-hub motors, batteries packed low to keep c/g down and weight distributed properly), an electric Boxster could be amazing.

When option 2 comes along, sign me up.

Gas. I don't like the time it takes to recharge batteries. Plus, much of the fun in driving is the noise of the engine/exhaust. A battery powered car would sound crappy.

Even using the kart experience, give me gas any time.
